Would you want to know?

True, but I'll have made sure I'll have left the city behind by then. There's a big house in the middle of Uruguay somewhere with my name on it

Oh absolutely - I wanted to be a racing driver, but now racing drivers are all 16 or 17 and here I am at 33 and old enough to be a racing driver's father. That is kind of a pain, but it hasn't put me off too much. I'm now waiting for the new era in which motor racing is populated by drivers over 40 - it has to come. Actresses can be any age - you should come over here and try out, we're a sucker for the accent and the whole Californian babe thing.

It only stands to reason. The only thing I'll admit is that money can't buy love. Some people might not be happy without love, I'm not so much one of those people. Besides, if you have more money, chances increase greatly that you'll find somebody to love. You know, because of all of your world travels and activities and stuff that you can now pay for? Because of the cosmetic surgery you will have? Because of the confidence that comes with money?

Indeed - money can't buy you love, but it makes you more lovable Also I found that even though I'm dirt poor by Western standards, when I travelled around Asia I was automatically incredibly wealthy and had to beat the girls off with a stick. Proof if any were needed that money makes you more attractive.

Hey, by the time we need new knees, hips, hearts, faces etc, we'll be able to go into hospital somewhere and get one without staying overnight. Stuff like that is moving so fast, we may never get old That's my theory and I'm sticking to it - if it turns out to be crap, I'll be too senile by then to care.

Related to the fate discussion - if you did find out when you were going to die, would that change things? Say fate says you were "meant to die" at 75. In fate's original plan, you weren't supposed to find that out ahead of time. So if you did find out, would that negate the original plan?

Duuuuuude, I just blew my own mind.



OK, to add on to my original question: If you could find out HOW you would die, would you? Again, I'd have to say no. Sure it'd be great to find out I was going to die peacefully in my sleep. But how bad would it suck to know for years that eventually I'd be mauled to death by a rabid dog? Or slowly waste away from a painful disease? Or be murdered? No thanks.

I don't wanna know.

All I want in my last breaths is to not pass from this existence alone, I want family/friends at my side as I leave this sick f**king world (Trying not to cry as I type this, This brings back bad memories of my Mother's death-Doesnt help to be listening to a rather sad song as I type this.)

if they look through the drawers, nothing but socks/underwear

The main thing I own of value is my massive music collection, Deb knows my wishes for 'its survival' should I meet my demise.

I know of an old man who died(no relation, seriously). When the family went through his things, well.........let's just say that they found QUITE the assortment of.............um,........er............toys, and the like.
Of course his family never thought of him in the same way!


Old uncle Bud, man did he like those big dildos!

LOL that's actually something I do think about If I were to drop dead right now I'm not so fond of the fact that my relatives will then have full access to my journals and drawars etc....but then again _ I'll be dead so I guess I really won't care

[estranged4life]

knowing what kinda sense of humor my Mom had, I was NOT surprised in the least what we found when packing her items up after her death

1 "Love Gun"-A gag gift ceramic penis shaped gun (Anyone tries to rob this home I'll pull my "dick" out on 'em )
Deck of "Playgirl" playing cards
"Playgirl" magazines
"Playgirl" keychain
XXX-Rated jokes & fake traffic tickets

^ So your mom was normal.
